An Youhe received the flowers and couldn't help but look around.

Candlelight was lit at the very front.

In the center of the huge heart-shaped candlelight stood a boy wearing a white shirt.

The boy smiled, holding a small bouquet of roses in his hand.

An Youhe stared at him without blinking.

Qi Lili, who was standing next to her, finally sensed something was amiss.

"No wonder it was so strange! Turns out they were waiting here!"

After saying that, Qi Lili tried to pull An Youhe away.

Before her hand could even touch An Youhe's arm, Qi Lili was swept away by the waist.

Qi Lili shouted, "Youhe, this is a trap! Ugh..."

Huo Guang pressed his lips tightly against hers.

At this moment, An Youhe's eyes could not see anyone else but that shining, smiling boy.

"Youhe! Don't..." Her lips were sealed again.

Huo Guang then showed his manly side, covering Qi Lili's mouth and saying apologetically to Ye Zhou, "Ye Zhou, you guys are busy, I'll take her to a hotel to clear her head!"

After saying that, Qi Lili was picked up around the waist and carried by Huo Guang, running very fast on the beach like a bomb being thrown.

It was almost interrupted, but luckily Huo Guang did a good job.

Ye Zhou stretched out a hand and said, "Come in, be careful with the candlelight."

An Youhe belatedly realized that she had already reached out her hand, and her small hand was grasped by Ye Zhou's large hand and led into the heart-shaped candlelight.

The girl blinked repeatedly, unable to hide her excitement and anticipation.

Ye Zhou was the same.

He swore he had never been so nervous before.

Next came the solemn confession.

"In all these long years, I have never met a girl like you. You are strong, optimistic, kind, understanding, lovely, and gentle. Your good qualities are endless. My only regret is that I did not meet you sooner. Sometimes I really wish I could spend the whole day with you."

I don't know when it started, but I've become so attached to you. Every little thing you do makes my heart flutter. I'm afraid this sudden confession might scare you, but I feel it's time. I like you, Youhe. I know this is selfish, but I hope that every sunset from now on will be with you. Will you be my girlfriend?

The girl's chin was almost buried in the mountain peak.

"Thud!—"

"Thud!—"

Tears fell...

Ye Zhou panicked. He could only imagine two scenarios: agreeing or disagreeing, but he had never expected this situation.

That's probably what a rejection looks like.

Ye Zhou released his grip, gently hugged the girl, and patted her back softly.

"It's okay, it's okay if you refuse, I'm fine."

Ye Zhou had been rejected countless times, but he didn't know why this kind of rejection hurt him even more.

He wanted to cherish this girl and didn't want to let go.

The girl rested her chin on Ye Zhou's shoulder, wetting the clothes on his shoulder as well.

The silent weeping slowly turned into a low, animalistic wail.

"I...I do." I've been waiting for this for a long time too.

Ye Zhou was stunned.

The hand patting his back stopped.

He thought he was hallucinating and froze on the spot.

Until the girl's voice rang out again.

"I'm willing to be your girlfriend, sob sob!"

Ye Zhou grabbed the girl's shoulders and looked at her swollen eyes and red nose from a distance.

An Youhe was crying so hard she could barely breathe.

Ye Zhou wiped away the tears on the girl's fair cheeks with his hand.

His eyes deepened, and his Adam's apple bobbed.

"May I kiss you?"

Seeing the girl's red, swollen eyes from crying, one can't help but want to do something.

An Youhe choked up, looked at Ye Zhou, and shook her head, "No, no, there are too many people."

Ye Zhou glanced around. Little Peach covered her eyes and hid between her mother's legs with her back turned.

Liu Tian was still raising his fist to cheer himself on.

Ye Qing, however, crossed her arms, her red lips curving into a smile, and watched the rest of the program with a leisurely air.

This is really not a good idea. Ye Zhou took An Youhe's hand and said seriously, "Let's elope!"

He swept the girl into his arms around the waist, jumped out of the candlelight, and then gently put her down.

"We're leaving now. Thank you all for coming today." Ye Zhou waved to the crowd and walked away holding his girlfriend's hand.

Liu Tian was still shouting from behind, "That's it? That's not enough!"

Ye Shu smiled and picked up Xiao Taozi, "We're leaving too. Xiao Taozi still has homework from kindergarten."

Little Peach cried, "Little Peach doesn't want to do her homework!"

Ye Qing waved and said, "Okay, goodbye, take care on the road."

After everyone had left...

Liu Tian's palms were sweating as he gripped the hem of his clothes.

His legs were rooted to the beach, completely still.

Ye Qing still crossed her arms, adopting a mature and sophisticated posture. She turned her head, her eyes glancing at the somewhat strange Liu Tian.

"Sister Qing, I..."

"Little brother, I think you're quite an interesting person. I like you a bit. I wonder if you'd like to be a little fish in my fishpond?"

Ye Qing raised the corners of her eyes, looking indifferent whether you wanted to or not.

Liu Tian was just gathering his strength when Ye Qing's words caught him off guard.

...

Ye Zhou did not take An Youhe back, but went to the hotel instead.

Of course, going to a hotel doesn't necessarily mean doing something earth-shattering.

It wasn't until An Youhe took out her ID card that she understood why Ye Zhou had asked her to bring it.

Suddenly, I felt a little scared.

Especially when Ye Zhou said he wanted a room.

She had never stayed in a hotel before, so she didn't know the hotel procedures.

When the receptionist saw An Youhe, she carefully compared her ID card before she felt comfortable checking her into a room.

Ye Zhou was getting impatient.

The blood in my body was constantly boiling.

When he looked at An Youhe, he tried his best to maintain the expression of a fresh-faced young man.

He was originally a refreshing young man! It was only because he was corrupted by the twenty-eight-year-old soul within him…

An Youhe was led by the hand into the elevator.

She was still a little worried, and after much inner turmoil and several moments of wanting to speak but holding back, she realized she was still uneasy.

My heart was pounding.

The girl parted her pink lips slightly, trembling, "Ye Zhou, we're not going to do anything strange, are we?"

Ye Zhou looked down at the girl and couldn't help but smile, then gently stroked the tip of her pert nose with his finger.

"What are you thinking? Of course I won't do it without your permission." Even if I desperately want to, I won't.

The girl clutched her collar with one hand, her eyes were wet, but her heart was warm.

She is now Ye Zhou's girlfriend.

A person can only have one girlfriend.

Ye Zhou was also her...boyfriend...

This feeling is different from how the two of them felt before.
